It looks like it’s been a few years since this has been discussed.

I know a headset does not exist that would allow a normal conversation at highway speed with the top down, but I find myself leaving the top up if I’m expecting a phone call because I won’t be able to answer it. I have a hard time hearing a conversation walking across a windy parking lot with my current headset, let alone at highway speeds.

I’m currently using a Plantronics Voyager 520. I also bought a Discovery 975, which was even worse. Both touted noise cancellation technology.

The biggest failure with either is volume. I set them to the maximum volume and its comfortable to barely adequate with the top up.

Does anyone actually have a headset they find adequate for some sort of rudimentary communication with the top down?
